A Winter of 20 Milers

February 20, 2021

So I have this theory. I’ve shared it before so if you’re one of my two loyal readers, you’ve undoubtedly heard this a couple times before. My theory is that in order to get good at something, you need to do it. A lot. I’ve got this obsession with running really long distances so I’ve…

RIP Salming Trail T2s

January 30, 2021

First run: 12/1/18 Last run: 1/30/21 Total runs: 147 Total miles: 1,101 I got more miles out of these shoes than any other that I’ve owned. They probably should have been retired a couple hundred miles ago, but they weren’t bothering my feet too much so I kept them in the rotation. Today’s run put…

Building the Base

January 23, 2021

I have some big plans for the year. Between four hundreds and a 200 mile adventure, I have more on my plate than prior years. I don’t feel like any of these individually are beyond my abilities, but collectively they’ll take quite a bit of effort to accomplish. So I figure it was time to…

Love the Process

January 3, 2021

My alarm went off at 6am this morning and I really didn’t want to get up. During the week, I’m usually up and awake by then, however I like to catch up on my ZZZZs on the weekend and sleep in. It didn’t help that I tossed and turned all night long for some reason.…

2020 by the Numbers: Running Through a Pandemic

December 31, 2020

Well, that was an interesting year. I managed to barely squeak above my 2019 mileage total this year. It wasn’t something that I was targeting, but it just sort of worked out for me. I was tracking well above this through the early part of the year and then dropped back as I took things…

2020 by the Numbers: Going for a Walk

December 19, 2020

This was a big year for my walking as I’ll top my prior year mileage record by well over 200 miles. Last year, I started dialing up my walking/hiking as a way to add miles without dramatically increasing my injury risk. I’ve found that being a strong hiker can save hours at the end of…

2021 Schedule

December 12, 2020

Below is my tentative schedule for next year. Considering how 2020 has gone, I’m pretty sure my year won’t end up looking like this once it’s finished. Hopefully, we’ll start to get this pandemic under control by April and most of these races can be held. Given the relatively small fields at most of these…

100 Mile, 24 Hour

One More Race?

December 4, 2020

Stone Mill was supposed to be my last race of the year. I should be smack dab in the middle of my fat and happy training cycle, however there’s a chance I’m not quite done yet with 2020. I was scrolling through run100s.com the other day (no, I don’t have an issue) and I stumbled…

Wait for it. . .

November 29, 2020

I’m now fully immersed in my off season if my bathroom scale is any indication. I had been going pretty much non-stop since last November so it’s past time for me to dial back the miles and sleep in more often. I don’t necessarily think I was too close to overdoing things, but you never…

2020 Stone Mill 50 Mile Race Report

November 17, 2020

First off, huge congratulations to the RD and all the volunteers who were able to pull off this year’s Stone Mill 50. I can’t imagine the time and effort required. I felt safe from start to finish. Simply an amazing job. Due to COVID, we started in waves of 20 people every 5 minutes from…
